Diverse, interesting, and bar Hira, all added something to the show. Extremely underrated series.

And it just goes to show that at the end of the day casting is everything. The production was sh!t last year, but a brilliant cast made for a brilliant series. This year the production is good - but the housemates are crap - and so far, it's making for an absolutely appauling series. Disappointing.

Spot on.

It's highly distressing to think of how an entire team of people who get money thrown at them to sit around a table and match up strangers could do such an incredibly bad job at the casting. BB11's housemates feel like they only form what should be half of the overall cast. I even said that on launch. It's like they got a dozen reasonably good housemates, took two thirds out, and - with intent - put in the dullest ones they could find.

Nothing simply clicks this year. The final BB should have been an absoloute onslaught of endless twists, tasks and mentally draining psychological mind tricks from the start. Viewers don't get hooked by red and yellow flags outside the house. They get hooked by things being bigger, louder, and somewhat different but with the classic formula intact. This show should have been designed to rope in lost viewers. Why the hell would I watch this series if I have not followed it in recent years? Give me a reason. I dare you. Instead it's following 2007 and it's formula of putting a dim bunch of people in ~whacky costumes in the hope that one of them might fart or fall over or something.

Look at how effortlessly Endemol ballsed up the mole task. I defy anyone to attempt to defend that piece of shit. It should have been a week long saga of betrayal and tears. Instead it was a weekend of a gay bloke dressed as a mole knocking some cereal and pizza on the kitchen floor.

Yeah? Really? Fuck you, Endemol.
